How it feels
You pass real time in a quiet, dark underground palace as a lonely servant, with no rush and only your own curiosity to guide you.

What players say
Players say The Longing is a genuine idle game about waiting 400 real-time days, where you watch a little cave man shuffle through a cave system at a glacial pace. Many get deeply attached to the charming character and find the slow pace meditative, though some hit obscure puzzles and unsatisfying endings.
